The jury began deliberating Friday on 11 charges against Steven Amazeen. Shortly before the courthouse closed for the day Tuesday, jurors announced they were deadlocked on seven of them and found Amazeen not guilty on four others.

Jurors decided Amazeen was not a threat when police shot him in December 2012. Amazeen was accused of threatening his wife and several officers who were dispatched to his home after his wife called to say he had fired two shots and was suicidal.

In court, officers testified that Amazeen was distraught and waving a weapon. Three Durham officers said they were afraid for their lives, and two of them shot and injured Amazeen.

The Attorney General's Office ruled that the shooting was justified.

Defense attorneys said the only life Amazeen threatened that night was his own.

Prosecutors said Amazeen will be retried on the seven deadlocked charges: three charges of criminal threatening and four charges of reckless conduct.
